[RadioDitch]

Just a routine heads-up for the all the usual Milair, Federal, and NJICS listeners/analysts in the region. Looks like POTUS and FLOTUS will be headed to Bedminster on Thursday via the usual. AF1 Andrews-Morristown, then helo to the course.

Thanks. Has anyone put together a concise list of frequencies they all use? It's a very short window to try to hunt the traffic.

This one is a little extra interesting though. It's the oldest KC-135 airframe in the USAF inventory. It's assigned to the 190th ARW from the Kansas ANG out of Topeka according to my list, but a couple of guys were saying it may have been transferred to the AZ ANG a while back.

I was wondering about that age. 1950’s....Wow!

Rotated off station after transfer. On final to McGuire.

I can hear them today but can’t seem them. I suspect a new AC today and it is not squeaking Mode S or C.

They are up there this morning. I visually saw two fighter jets trailing the tanker on the first loop of the morning. President Trump is speaking at West Point this morning so they likely followed him up there.

Primarily been gasing them up on 247.05 with ZNY handling them on 290.4 (S36L Sparta).

 

[RadioDitch]

Appears IGOR62 may be taking over, KC135R 61-0275, Utah ANG. Checking in with ZNY on 290.4 at FL250. Replacing IGOR61 with Iowa ANG KC135R 57-1441.

Where are you located that you can see the FJs? Can you see them without binos?
